Valuation [solved]

If genuine silver I cant see any value beyond melt value as condition means little with these type medals. The realistic value is with the metal or silver content. The 825 on the metal implies an alloy consisting of 87.5% Silver and 12.5% other metals, usually copper. The first step in determining value is to verifiy that it is indeed 825 silver. A jeweler can do this for you. Then weigh the medal and use a silver calculator to determine total silver melt value. Good luck with it.

Thank you for a reply! Ive actually already confirmed its Silver with my LCS. Apology the reflection is making the 9 look like an 8 because its 92.5 Sterling. 

 

I completely get what you're saying but Ive seen the common medals going for 200 bucks made of bronze of copper lol I have yet to see an example in this type of condition which I get its not a US Minted Coin but seems the survival rate on this particular medal is very low.  From my understanding on general coins, the nicest examples will always be worth more but how do I compare a medal that almost seems nonexistance. Numista doesn't have it cataloged which is fascinating to me lol 

Just keep in mind that scarcity does not necessarily equate to additional value and there are always an exception or two As I am sure you have found in your search for your example, there are plenty of tribute medals made of silver for JFK and Jackie. Perhaps your example was not desirable to many or not marketed well and simply did not sell and that is why it is scarce. Unless you find the one person who just has to have your examples and will pay a premioum over silver melt value, the most realistic approach is to value them at melt value.

10-4! I get it 100%

 

 I highly appreciate your responses Harry! 

 

Thank you so very much!
